For months, the internet has been buzzing about whether or not Halle Bailey is pregnant with her first child. The rumors reached a fever pitch after fans noticed the actress and singer allegedly concealing her stomach at the Color Purple premiere on December 6th.
Recently, a series of videos featuring Halle and her boyfriend, rapper DDG, celebrating Christmas has fueled speculation that the couple might have welcomed a baby.
In one particular video where the couple is making sugar cookies, Halle carefully stands up to “get a spatula.”
Keen-eyed fans scrutinized the star’s movements in the clip, suggesting that her manner of standing up resembled that of a new mother.
One person expressed, “The way Halle Bailey got up in that video, Yeah she had that baby. Trust me, I know that get up from anywhere.”
In another video, Halle and DDG are surrounded by their family as they exchanged lavish presents.
During the gift exchange, social media users noticed that Bailey was not shielding her belly as usual, leading to further speculation.

Addressing the persistent scrutiny, Halle took to her Instagram story earlier in the month to share her thoughts on being constantly under the public microscope.
Amidst comments about her having a “pregnancy nose” and widespread speculation about expecting a child with DDG, she expressed gratitude to her “real supporters”.
